Colorful

Chapter 206
I don't know if it's the effect of the gold and silver fish or Shen Che's effect, anyway, Ji Cheng fell asleep in the blink of an eye after lying down.

Shen Che ordered Nishang to bring scissors to cut off the bandage in a low voice, so that the hands and feet could move freely.Just as he moved his arm, Ji Cheng followed the direction of his movement and stuck it up. After she put her face on his arm again, she smacked her lips contentedly and fell asleep peacefully again.

Ji Cheng's unconscious dependence made Shen Che's heart soften.He looked at Ji Cheng for a long time, so long that he could even count the thick eyelashes like a small fan, then he removed her hand holding his arm, and stuffed his pillow into her arms, Seeing that Ji Cheng hadn't woken up, he got up.

Ma Yuantong just came in with the medicine, and saw that Shen Che could get up, sourly said: "It seems that your Shen family's kung fu is indeed unique, the injury is so serious, and so much blood has been shed. Are you going to get up soon?"

Shen Che had a good temper and ignored Ma Yuantong's ridicule, took the medicine bowl from him and drank it in one gulp: "Thank you for this matter."

It is rare for Ma Yuantong to see Shen Che being so sincere, but he really can't get a good temper towards him: "This time you are blessed with a big life, and if you get back a little life, next time there is such a thing, You don't need to look for me, I can't bear this kind of stimulation." After that, Ma Yuantong leaned in front of Shen Che again, looked at his face and said, "You said that you are covered with injuries, why is this face not disfigured? where?"

Shen Che didn't bother to pay attention to Ma Yuantong's jealousy, and Ma Yuantong and Chu De were often jealous of his face.Of course, Shen Che would never admit it, and subconsciously protected him, because he found that Ji Cheng also seemed to like to stare at him unavoidably.

Shen Che used the medicine and practiced the mental method for a week to breathe and adjust his breath. When he opened his eyes again, he felt better again.Because she asked Nishang to prepare a bamboo chariot, she carried Ji Cheng back to Woyun Hall, where her maid could serve her conveniently.

As soon as Shen Che arrived at Woyun Hall, he heard the little boy come up to report that Shen Zheng had come.

Shen Che thought about it, and still invited Shen Zheng up.

As soon as Shen Zheng entered the door, seeing Shen Che's expression was not right, he said in a loud voice: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Your face is so pale, are you injured?" Shen Zheng is a martial arts practitioner and has been in the military camp all year round. His voice was three degrees higher than that of the other masters of the Shen family.

Shen Che frowned, afraid that he would wake Ji Cheng: "Can't you speak in a low voice?"

Seeing that Shen Che's tone was unhappy, Shen Zheng only thought that he was upset about that matter: "Second brother, when did you come back? Have you heard about that matter?"

Shen Che really hadn't heard of it, how could Nishang dare to take the initiative to mention that matter?And Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er didn't go out at all these days, and they didn't know anything.This kind of news was naturally discovered by the parties at the latest.

Shen Che glanced at Shen Zheng indifferently, and then Shen Zheng explained everything: "Second brother, don't believe the rumors, you don't know what kind of person the fourth brother is? How dare he have anything to do with the second sister-in-law?" Is it clear?"

Shen Che squinted his eyes, and gave Nishang a sharp look.

Nishang hurriedly took a step forward: "I haven't had time to tell the young master yet." Shen Che was seriously injured when he came back the night before yesterday, and later fell into a coma. It is understandable that Nishang had no chance to speak.

Shen Che said: "What's going on?"

Nishang immediately told Li Rui exactly what happened.

It was only then that Shen Zheng knew that he had caused a catastrophe, but his second brother didn't even know about it.Originally, he rushed to become a lobbyist because he was afraid that there would be a rift between his brothers, but he did something bad with his good intentions.

Liu Ye'er had been guarding Ji Cheng in the eastern tip, but when she heard the words outside, she was shocked, she ran out quickly, and knelt down for Shen Che with a bang.

"Lang Jun, our young mistress was wronged. The fourth young mistress has such a vicious heart. She wanted to force our young mistress to death. That night, the fourth son did come to Jiuliyuan, but the young mistress fell asleep after eating the life-saving balls. The fourth son heard Speaking of the young lady's illness, he came here with the intention of seeing him for the last time. He just stood at the door and left. It wasn't the tryst that the fourth young lady talked about. Mr. Lang wants to make decisions for our young lady. !" Liu Ye'er began to cry as she spoke, knocking her head on the ground all the time.

When Shen Che heard this, the veins on his head swelled up. He knew the power of these rumors best. The two people who had nothing to do at first could not be cleared up if there were too many people who talked about it.

Seeing that Shen Che was angry, Shen Zheng mistakenly thought that Shen Che was angry because of the green hat on his head, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, second brother, you heard what Liu Ye'er said, the fourth brother is just here to visit the patient, What's wrong with it?"

Shen Cheliang looked at Shen Zheng quietly and said, "Do you think I don't know what kind of people my wife and brother are, but I listen to false rumors?"

Shen Zheng stopped talking, he thought to himself that this is really biting Lu Dongbin, isn't he worried that his second brother will be unhappy?After all, when they were in the prairie, their husband and wife had a very unpleasant quarrel.Now that the two things are added together, he is afraid that Shen Che will do something irrational.

After Shen Che sent Shen Zheng away, he changed his clothes and went to the old lady's Rui Yingtang.

Seeing Shen Che, the old lady was naturally concerned, and asked that Ji Cheng was fine, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Something happened in the past few days, about your daughter-in-law, and you are not here, so I also temporarily Not dealt with."

Shen Che said: "I already know."

"Your four younger siblings are making a fuss. There is no real evidence at all, so they just slander people indiscriminately. They don't care if there are so many relatives and friends in the family who have not left, so they make a fuss regardless. In the past two days, they have finally sent all relatives and friends away. After leaving, you just came back, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" The old lady obviously didn't believe Li Rui at all when she said this.

Of course, the old lady did a thorough investigation in private. The relationship between Ji Cheng and Shen Jing was indeed innocent. When Ji Cheng lived in Tiemao Hutong, Ji Lan didn't want her to be his daughter-in-law. It's tight, Shen Jing is not allowed to go home from Dongshan Academy to live in leisure time.

Shen Che said coldly: "Li Rui is trying to force Ah Cheng to death." Fortunately, Ji Cheng was in a coma at the time, if she was still awake and knew about it, something might happen right then.

The old lady sighed: "Oh, the daughter-in-law here is not married well, and the granddaughter-in-law is not married well either. It's like a prodigal family."

Shen Che comforted the old lady and said: "Don't worry about the old ancestor, I will handle this matter. If you want to change your granddaughter-in-law, wouldn't it be easy?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "Nonsense. She is still Sister Yu's mother. Besides, Princess Zhenping is very sick now, we can't make her worse."

The old lady set the tone.

Shen Che nodded and said, "I know it well."

Shen Che knew it well, and Li Rui knew it too. She was getting impatient with waiting, but she finally waited for Shen Che to come back.

Shen Che went out from Ruiyingtang, and just entered the Qingyuan Garden when he met Li Rui oncoming.

Li Rui dressed up specially today. She was fat and wore a dark blue dress, and she looked a little thinner when she tied her waist.I also worked hard on the jewelry, and it seems to be passable.

"Second brother." Li Rui called Shen Che abruptly, "Second brother, do you have time now, I have something to say to you."

Shen Che looked at the gazebo on the Youshan Corridor, the terrain was high and it was not easy for people to listen to what he said, but it was in a large crowd, so he was not afraid of making people gossip.

Li Rui then led the girl Caixia, and followed Shen Che to the gazebo.

Caixia was holding a scroll in her hand, Li Rui took it from her, and handed it to Shen Che: "Second Brother, take a look."

Shen Che took it and unfolded it, but it was the portrait of Ji Cheng that Shen Jing had drawn.Although there is no seal on it, and there is no year stamp, but the style and brushwork of the painting are undoubtedly Shen Jing's work.

The people in the painting are smiling and charming, with beautiful eyes and hopeful eyes. They are as lifelike as possible. Even the folds of the clothes are drawn very carefully, which shows the artist's hard work.

Shen Jing's feelings for Ji Cheng are vivid on the paper.

As for how Li Rui obtained this painting, we have to start from the past few days.

After Shen Jing moved to the study in the outer courtyard that day, Li Rui was annoyed that everyone didn't believe her, so she ran to look through Shen Jing's things, thinking that there must be clues left behind, and that's how she found the painting.

When Li Rui found this painting, he really wished he could kill Ji Cheng.But this time she learned how to be smart, instead of making trouble on her own, she sent the painting to Shen Che.She believed that no man would tolerate wearing a cuckold on her head. If Shen Che stepped forward, everything would be different.Shen Jing is his younger brother, he may protect him, but Ji Cheng will never have good fruit.

Shen Che smiled and said, "So the fourth brother has finished the painting?"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Shen Che said this.

"In our family, the fourth brother is the best at painting. Your second sister-in-law is very ill. I was really afraid that she would not be able to get up one day. So I asked the fourth brother to paint a portrait for her. I didn't expect it to be completed so soon. .” Shen Che said.

"No." Li Rui shook his head, "No, he has a crush on Second Sister-in-law, and he calls Second Sister-in-law's name even in his dreams."

"Really? It's just Sister Cheng, how do you know it's Ah Cheng? You may not know what it is." Shen Che laughed, "But it's true, you are so fat and stupid, the fourth brother looks down on you , it is normal to have others in your heart. If you are not angry, you slander others for misbehavior. This is a matter between your husband and wife, and outsiders have nothing to say. But you should never, never should, and you should not count on Ah Cheng .”

Li Rui didn't expect to hear such words from Shen Che, and he even called her "fat idiot".

Shen Che stood up coldly and said: "Thankfully, Ah Cheng is fine, if there is anything wrong with her, I will ask your entire Zhongwuhou Mansion to be buried with her."

"You..." Li Rui was trembling with anger, unable to say a word.

Shen Che ignored Li Rui and went straight out of the gazebo.

When Shen Che walked away, Li Rui recovered from his coercion just now and jumped into a rage: "What idiot? I think he is an idiot. I was cuckolded, and he is still a treasure. How dare you threaten me? , and don’t look at what he is, if his elder brother said this, it would be more or less the same.”

Caixia pretended she didn't hear anything, she lowered her head and persuaded Li Rui to go back to Tiemao Alley.

In the evening, as soon as the third masters Shen Ying and Shen Jing returned to the mansion, they were called to the old lady's Rui Yingtang, and Ji Lan and Li Rui were invited to go at the same time.

Mrs. Huang, the elder of the second room, and Shen Yu and Shen Zheng were also invited to Ruiyingtang.

Duke Qi and Princess Anhe of Dafang were also present.

Except for the reunion dinner, the three members of the Shen family seldom get together so fully.

Shen Che said: "I invite all the elders to come here today. I want to invite you to be a witness. Now everyone knows the ups and downs in the mansion. I was not in the mansion two days ago, and Ah Cheng fell ill again. I can't get a bed, so I can only be slaughtered by others, since I am back today, I have to ask for an explanation."

Li Rui's face turned pale when she heard this, she really didn't expect Shen Che to take this matter so seriously.She knew in her heart that she had no evidence, even the painting had been confiscated by Shen Che, so she would not get any benefit at all after three trials.

Li Rui looked at Shen Jing for help, but Shen Jing ignored her at all.

"This matter really needs to be dealt with. There must be a right and a wrong, and we can't erase it like this. If there is a scandal in our family, I will not tolerate it, but if it is A Rui who provokes dissension, there must be punishment." The old man The wife also said with a straight face.

Shen Ying didn't know anything about the inner house, but now she heard what the old lady said, she turned to Ji Lan and found out what happened.Immediately, Shen Ying became angry, stood up and reprimanded Ji Lan: "Look at you, the good daughter-in-law you picked, is this how you pour dirty water on your husband and sister-in-law?"

Ji Lan also hated Li Rui very much in her heart, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing such a situation, Li Rui didn't know that it was a bad thing. Anyway, it was too good to be good. He simply stood up and said, "I didn't lie. Mr. Cheng, he called Sister Cheng when he was drunk. I also drew a portrait of Ji Cheng, which is called a lingering affection, it’s so disgusting that I can’t even express it.”

Shen Jing stood up slowly, and knelt down in front of the old lady: "Old ancestor, all grandsons are unfilial and immoral. The grandson and Li Rui really can't live anymore. She talks a lot all day long and makes up sister-in-laws, looking down on her. This one, I looked down on that one, so I set up a yard outside and raised a small one, and the Chen family lived in the third house from the beginning in Qipan Lane."

As soon as Shen Jing said this, everyone was stunned, especially Li Rui, who immediately rushed to Shen Jing: "Okay, you, you actually raised the outer room behind my back."

Shen Jing threw Li Rui away and knelt straight in front of the old lady.

The old lady turned her head and said: "Go to Qipan Street and bring that Mrs. Chen back to have a look."

Qipan Street is not far from Shen's residence, and Mrs. Chen was invited here after a while.This Chen family was originally the daughter of a poor scholar, that scholar was seriously ill, Chen family was filial, in order to treat her father's illness, she became Shen Jing's concubine.

Coincidentally, the Chen family's name is Huicheng.

When the old lady saw that Mrs. Chen was born fair and clean, quiet and elegant, he didn't talk much, and behaved well, she liked it three points in her heart.Asking to understand that Mrs. Chen is the daughter of a good family, she said: "You are also a poor person. Since you have followed Ah Jing, there is absolutely no reason to live outside. Today I am the master. You can go back with your mother-in-law."

When Ji Lan heard her name was called, she quickly responded.Regardless of whether this Chen family is true or not, the "sister Cheng" that Li Rui was talking about could no longer be Ji Cheng.

Chen Shi looked at Shen Jing shyly and timidly, and Shen Jing also looked back at her, their gazes were not to mention affectionate.

At this moment, even Li Rui himself couldn't tell who the "sister Chen" Shen Jing was talking about was.After all, Ji Cheng and Shen Jing did not have any substantive contacts. Li Rui couldn't help but lose his temper that day. Firstly, it was because she had a violent temper and didn't like to use her brain. Secondly, she wanted to threaten Shen Jing.

Who knew that Shen Jing wasn't afraid of her at all, and Shen Che didn't doubt Ji Cheng at all, which made Li Rui look very passive.

"But there are still paintings. You can't deny that you secretly painted the portrait of the second sister-in-law?" Li Rui said.

"The second elder brother asked me to draw it. He was afraid that the second sister-in-law would not even think about others in the future." Shen Jing said.

Li Rui screamed: "I don't believe it! You guys are all in collusion to bully me. He doesn't like his second sister-in-law for what he wants. .”

Shen Che said to Li Rui coldly: "I don't need you to comment on my feelings for Ah Cheng."

Li Rui was angry and impatient, not only hating Ji Cheng, but also Shen Che, hating Shen Che for insulting her so much.She couldn't tell what kind of mentality she was in, she pointed at Shen Che and scolded: "You are not good people. Don't think I don't know, you are romantic, and you kept staring at me during my mother's birthday last year. Don't think about me. Just because I ignore you, you secretly hate and always want to take revenge on me!"

As soon as Li Rui said this, everyone in the audience was shocked, and turned to look at Shen Che at the same time.

Shen Che couldn't help but sneered, staring at Li Rui and said: "Although I am romantic, people who know me well know that all my past lovers and confidants are beautiful and beautiful. As for you, I will only It hurts the eyes."

Although this was a bit harsh, everyone present couldn't help but say "yes" in their hearts.Li Rui used to be of average beauty, but now she is simply unsightly, and she doesn't know where her confidence comes from.

The old lady immediately reprimanded Shen Che and said: "Archer, don't talk nonsense. For women, you only care about good conduct, and their appearance is secondary. Besides, it's your fault. If you pay attention to it on weekdays, how can you attract others?" Misunderstand?"

The old lady said this because she was too lazy to teach Li Rui a lesson, she just felt that she was hopeless.To look at her more than once is to be mean to her?Dare to claim that your husband is having an affair with his sister-in-law without any evidence at all, that's really no one's temper.

Shen Che was about to answer the old lady's words, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ji Cheng who had already entered the courtyard.

Shen Che stood up and walked out quickly, and said anxiously in his tone: "Why are you here? Didn't you tell you to rest?"
